Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance Primer 100ml
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance Primer 100ml is not a perfume, and understanding what it actually does is the key to deciding whether you want it. A primer is applied to clean skin before fragrance. Dry skin holds scent badly, which is why perfume can vanish within an hour on some people and last all day on others, and a primer addresses that by leaving a slightly conditioned surface for the fragrance to sit on. It is a preparation step rather than a scent in its own right.
It is lightly perfumed, and the materials we hold for it are the ones that define the fragrance it is designed to support: orange, rose, jasmine and patchouli. Orange gives a bright, sweet lift, rose a clean floral fullness, jasmine a creamy warmth behind it, and patchouli the earthy, faintly bitter depth that the whole Coco Mademoiselle idea rests on. Four materials, so this is a short and simple scent, and it is meant to be. It smells like a quiet sketch of the perfume rather than a rival to it, and that is the correct ambition for a product of this kind. Use it after a shower on the pulse points, let it absorb, then spray as normal. Used alone it leaves little more than a clean, faintly floral trace on the skin, which some people prefer for the office or for sleep. It is aimed at women, and it will be most useful to anyone whose skin runs dry or who has been frustrated by a fragrance disappearing before lunch. If your perfume already lasts all day, you do not need this, and there is no sense pretending otherwise.
Chanel is French, Paris based, and known for clothes as much as for scent. Its first fragrance was N°5 in 1921, and the perfume and cosmetics company behind it dates from 1924.
